Welcome to the section about my home university, Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), located in Surakarta, Indonesia· As one of the prominent universities in Indonesia, UNS is dedicated to academic excellence, research, and community service, fostering a learning environment that encourages both intellectual and personal growth·
As a student in the Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) program, I am part of a specialized branch campus in Kebumen· This branch is dedicated to nurturing future educators equipped with the skills and knowledge to shape young minds· UNS has given me invaluable opportunities to explore and develop my passion for teaching, as well as a strong foundation in both theory and practical teaching skills·
My journey with UNS has not only been academically enriching but has also allowed me to participate in international programs such as the SEA Teacher Exchange· This experience has enabled me to bring my knowledge and values from UNS to a new and diverse educational environment·
